Ben Hodges: "U.S. not seen consistently as a NATO leader" - Gen. Ben Hodges (Ret.) - TVP WORLD



Poland, Germany, and Norway are committing half a billion dollars in new military aid to Kyiv, as Ukraine braces for a long and brutal winter on the frontline. The announcement comes as Trump envoy Steve Witkoff returns empty-handed from peace talks in Moscow, and on the same day U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio skipped a high-level meeting of NATO foreign ministers.

What does this mean for transatlantic unity and for Ukraine’s defense? To break it down, TVP World spoke exclusively with Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, former commander of U.S. Army Europe.
